Summer Time Fun

We love our quad strollers, we like to start off walking around the parking lot and through the backyard as the fast cars and large trucks can be scary and overwhelming. While walking through the backyard we get to view the older children in their natural habitat as they run fast, climb on climbers, ride on cars, slide down slides, and dig holes in the sand box. In the backyard we have a small gated area where only the Jungle Beats room and the Safari Sway friends can play, this place provides a save environment to explore the outdoor elements with age appropriate toys.

Winter Time

Winter can be a bit challenging for the infants, with getting used to moving in their snowsuits or moving around. However this is a learning opportunity for them! We allow the infants to explore outside of our infant gated area as it is safe enough, where older children are also cautious of moving around in the snow. The older children also love pulling the infants when they’re on the sleds, it’s a great way to socialize! Winter time helps with their large motor skills as they crawl and walk through snow and ice.

Sensory play

Sensory is our favorite play activity from foam, colored rice, oats, cereals, painting, sensory baggies a bottles, and much more! Sensory play is helpful for their sense of taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing. Different learning opportunities include various types of taste, texture, sound, etc.

Stories/music

Many of the infants enjoy story and music time. Every Thursday we currently have Ms. D coming in the morning to sing them some song, have them explore different instruments, do some silly body movements and dancing, and more!

Celebrations

Holidays are celebrated along with different traditions and cultures to make families feel welcome!

Activities

Activities! Something that our infants enjoy looking forward to and participating in with the educators. Each activity brings in so much learning and ways that help progress their developmental skills.

Free Play

Free play, A time for exploration and fun. Infants are naturally curious with their environment. This is the time where imagination, learning, and self-exploration, all take place.
